Sorry mate but that says:
Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0408'
Invalid character
/lvilicences/appDetails.asp, line 541
{
^
i think because the stuff in the <% tags is vbscript and curly brackets is
part of javascript.
I have re-written it now so it just uses javascript, although its still
bugging me as to why it didnt work my way!!!!!
Thanks for trying anywayz!!
